We booked our room last minute for a one night stopover from wintering in Florida. What a great room which actually was a well fitted 1 bedroom apt. So clean. Such nice amenities. We even had a secure parking spot with our bikes. Great location, a few blocks from King street. Would love to return!!

This location was convenient and safe feeling. The unit was clean and comfortable. The space was well laid out despite not having a lot of space to work with. Everything that was provided worked well and they had added little details to make the stay more enjoyable. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in Charleston.

The parking was little confusing, however the room itself was beautiful, clean. Amazing location. It had a couple of top notch coffee machines with espresso and creamers. Walked everywhere.

The keyless entry worked flawlessly. The property was secure and well lite. We entered the first floor condo to be greeted by a handwritten note and gift bag, which included a bottle of wine and chocolate. Nice touch! The condo was clean and the furniture was comfortable. Loved the dual-showerhead action. I didn't care for the shampoo/conditioner product - left my hair feeling dry so I was glad I brought backup. The body wash was fine. I didn't use the washer/dryer, but they provided everything you need in case you wanted to do laundry. I especially loved that they didn't expect you to take out the trash or load the dishwasher!! Bonus touch! Appreciated the keurig coffee and espresso machines with multiple choices of pods, sugar & creamer on site! Walking distance (1/2 mile) to Leon's Poultry & Oysters!! Delish!!! There is construction going on in the neighborhood, but once you're in the condo it is peaceful, quiet and relaxing. We didn't need it, but they do have a parking "tower" on the property. We loved our stay and would recommend The Iris

I stayed here with my two teenage daughters for a mom and daughter trip. They loved the location for walking and it’s not directly in the downtown area so the night was much quieter. We felt very safe as the building was super secure.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Iris! The room was beautiful, clean, and the staff was very welcoming. The area was a little noisy- to be expected so close to the college area though. Overall for what you get; being walking distance to King St, the room, and the staff; the price is unbeatable.

We had a fantastic weekend at this hotel. The parking carousel made parking easy, and the room had a Dyson hair dryer and a fully functioning kitchen— way better than your typical hotels. The sound machine by the bed ensured a peaceful sleep, and the Halloween decor added a fun, festive touch. Highly recommend it for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!
